Manchester United have completed the signing of Youri Tielemans from Leicester City for £35 million, their first major summer acquisition. The midfielder joins as Erik ten Hag looks to rebuild his squad after a disappointing 2025-26 campaign that saw United finish 16th in the Premier League with zero points from their opening matches. League standing: 16th in Premier League, 0 pts. Goals this season: 0 scored, 0 conceded (0 goal difference). Next fixture: vs Nottingham Forest (away, 2027-02-20).
Who has Manchester United signed this summer?
The Red Devils have made one confirmed signing so far, with Tielemans joining from Leicester. The Belgian midfielder, who has been a key player for the Foxes, arrives at Old Trafford with a reputation for creativity and composure in midfield. His experience in the Premier League makes him a valuable addition as Ten Hag seeks to strengthen his squad.
Which players have left Manchester United?
While United have brought in Tielemans, they have lost Morgan Rogers to Chelsea in a £117 million deal. Rogers, a highly-rated young talent, has moved to Stamford Bridge, where he will look to continue his development under a new manager. The sale of Rogers represents a significant profit for United, who signed him from Manchester City for £116 million last season.
What does this mean for Manchester United's squad?
The arrival of Tielemans adds much-needed depth to United's midfield, an area that has been a concern in recent seasons. With Rogers' departure, the club will need to focus on replacing his creativity and energy in attack. The transfer window is still open, and Ten Hag will be looking to make further signings to bolster his squad ahead of the new season.
What's next for Manchester United?
United's next fixture is an away match against Nottingham Forest on 20 February 2027. The Red Devils will be hoping to secure their first points of the season and climb the table. With the transfer window still open, fans will be eagerly awaiting further news on potential signings.
